ASHE On Demand Webinar: Energy Trend- Cogeneration in Healthcare

Date: Nov 02, 2020 - Dec 31, 2025

Description:

In this session you will learn why hospitals around the world are installing cogeneration! Using cogeneration, or combined heat and power (CHP) in a hospital is an ideal way to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. CHP can save hospitals between 30 and 40% on energy costs by recovering waste heat from the plant’s internal combustion engine to produce hot water for heating and cooling. The total energy cost savings of CHP systems can generate payback as short as three years or less depending on local energy pricing and policies. Hospitals such Boston Medical Center are seeing cost savings up to $1.5M annually due to their cogeneration systems. Beyond cost savings – energy efficiency is at the heart of cogeneration systems. Using CHP in a hospital is an ideal way to improve energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, and meet sustainability goals! Hospitals with CHP can also operate on island mode in times of power outages adding a layer of protection when hospitals need it most. Caterpillar now offers natural gas generators engineered to meet a full suite of critical market requirements, including quick starting and loading capability, meeting NFPA 110 Level 1 Type 10 standards as well as being UL 2200 listed.

In this session we will make the case for CHP, explain how it works and bring in real life case studies as well as provide a panel of experts to answer any questions you may have.

Learning Objectives:

Learn how cogeneration, or combined heat and power (CHP) reduces the cost of energy at hospitals. Where grid electricity and natural gas boilers often provide less than 50% efficiency – cogeneration projects can provide efficiency up to 90%. This can save hospitals over $1M annually in energy costs allowing them to direct money towards clinical programs and patient care rather than utility bills.
Learn how cogeneration is helping hospitals meet their sustainability goals by reducing emissions and lowering their carbon footprint. Natural gas fueled engines, when used in CHP plants to produce electricity and heat, generate energy with the least possible impact on the environment!
Another benefit of the cogeneration system is its ability to operate independent of the grid during periods of power blackouts. Learn how during a grid power outage, the hospital operates on island mode, and the cogeneration system produces electricity to protect patients through the duration of the power outage.

What is growing in your premise plumbing fixtures and possibly contributing to healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in your facilities? Hand-washing has long been recognized as a leading means to reduce the transmission of disease and therefore we have installed them frequently in the patient care environment. However, sink drains (specifically, below the drain) can act as an ideal environment for antibiotic resistant bacteria to thrive. With subject matter experts and leading researchers from the University of Virginia, in this session we will explore the unintended consequences of having so many sinks. We will explore the dynamics of transmission from patient to drain and back to patient. We will present the current understanding of the problem, assess challenges created by antibiotic resistant bacteria in wastewater premise plumbing and explore potential solutions.

Learning Outcome(s):

Explain hand-washing sinks drains’ contribution to HAIs.
Review research of transmission from wastewater premise plumbing fixtures to patients.
Consider of challenges and opportunities for potential solutions.
Identify how to begin to contemplate the risk within a local design or built environment.

ASHE On Demand Webinar: Building Hospital and Community Resilience in the Face of Climate Change

Date: Feb 01, 2022 - Dec 31, 2025

Description:

Hospitals are on the frontline of climate change, bearing the costs of increased diseases and more frequent extreme weather events. In the face of extreme weather, hospitals face suspension or closure of key operations, supply chain disruption, and reduced clinical demand and reimbursement rates. Hospitals must be able to care for their staff and communities they serve during and after extreme weather events. And after disasters that cause severe damage to communities, hospitals need to be open to keep residents employed so communities can recover. We are seeing more heat-related illness and death, asthma and allergies, more cardiovascular disease. We are also seeing injury, death, mental health problems and forced migration due to the increase in extreme weather events. These extreme weather events continue to happen while living through the COVID-19 pandemic and both disproportionately impact vulnerable populations – low-income communities, communities of color, children, and the elderly. This panel will share the experiences of two health systems who have "weathered the storm," one in Florida and one in California. Learn how these health systems planned and prepared for these events, including both emergency preparedness efforts in the days leading up to and during the event, as well as longer-term investments in infrastructure and planning. Panelists will share their approaches to managing heat waves, hurricanes, and wildfires and highlight best practices for creating climate-ready hospitals as anchors for resilient communities.

Learning Objective(s):

Understand how climate change impacts health and health care’s contribution to greenhouse gas emissions.
Be able to articulate how climate change threatens a hospital’s ability to provide continuous care and emergency services.
Understand how leading health systems are transitioning to climate-smart health care and building more resiliency for their hospitals and communities.
Learn about new resilient technologies like microgrids that can help keep operations running during a power outage.

ASHE On Demand Webinar: Infrastructure Investment – Understanding Operational vs. Capital Investment and the Impact on Deferred Maintenance

Date: Jun 15, 2022 - Jun 30, 2025

Description:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that premature aging or unplanned failure of infrastructure assets increases financial and operational RISK for the organization, that preventative maintenance can significantly extend the useful life and performance of those assets, and that preventative maintenance is often the first victim of operational budget cuts. Simply put, when operating with limited resources, you may be able to fight fires as they start, but you have little chance of preventing them in the first place. In this webinar, we will discuss the current state of infrastructure investment, provide updates on the most recent health care financial trends and learn how to quantify the relationship between operational and capital investment. Does spending MORE money today on operations and preventive maintenance reduce long-term capital needs? Yes it does, and it can even generate a positive ROI for the organization. A message any CFO would like to hear.

This webinar will help attendees better understand the impact of infrastructure deferred maintenance to the physical environment, how to balance investment needs and how to calculate a positive ROI around infrastructure. They will learn the principles of infrastructure investment planning and how to develop a communication strategy with leadership. Case studies and examples will be provided.

Learning Outcome(s):

Recognize the state of health care infrastructure and how this applies to them.
Understand the financial relationship between operational and capital spend.
Define discretionary and non-discretionary buckets, and quantify investment needs.
Use asset life cycle and expected useful life data to support investment decisions.
Discuss positive ROI metrics that can be used to secure engagement with leadership.
